Detectives investigating the murder of a grandmother in Sydney more than 20 years ago have arrested and charged a man in Berkeley.
Unsolved Homicide Team officers attended a facility on Flagstaff Rd just after 11am yesterday where they arrested 46-year-old man of no fixed address.
He was taken to Port Kembla Police Station where he was charged with being an accessory after the fact to robbery in company, and receiving stolen property.
He is the third person charged by police investigating the death of Indonesian migrant Po Cin Lim.
On October 5, 1987, Ms Lim was standing at the corner of Goulburn and Pitt streets in Sydney's CBD when a man reached out of a passing van and grabbed her handbag.
The 66-year-old was dragged alongside the vehicle for several metres and fell head-first to the kerb.
The van drove off, and Ms Lim died the next day in St Vincent's Hospital.
In July last year, Strike Force Alukea was formed to re-visit the death and, on November 4 that year a 48-year-old man walked into Grafton police station and identified himself as a person of interest in the investigation.
Then in May this year, a 45-year-old man was arrested in Bundaberg in Queensland and extradited to Sydney.
The man arrested in Berkeley will appear in Wollongong Local Court today.
